Thread: New razor... not shave ready...

If you've never honed a straight razor before, I'd recommend starting and learning on a less expensive razor. Maybe a decent, but inexpensive eBay job.

Just in case.........knife sharpening experience doesn't really carry over to razors. Different animals, as they say.

Or better yet, take advantage of Razorfeld's offer in your other post. Take the stones and razor for a visit with one of them, you won't regret it.
